Chapter 405: Fei Yue'er's Observations
As the merchant ships pierced through the early morning mist, a huge and busy dock gradually appeared in front of Xiao Ming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This wharf is not anywhere else, it is the Tuojiang Wharf in the north of Qingzhou City.
From Chang'an to Qingzhou, the boat traveled for a total of ten days, and on the whole it was smooth and smooth.
In the first half of the journey, Fei Yue'er wiped her tears all day because she missed her parents, but in the second half of the journey, she gradually became familiar with Xiao Ming and immersed herself in the scenery and people along the road.
After all, Fei Yue'er is only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is the age of playfulness, and once she has no psychological burden, she will become lively.
As for the bad things he encountered in Chang'an these days, he no longer thinks about it, the second prince is just a passerby to him, and he deserves to be exiled now, the only flaw is that King Liang probably won't consider this trade agreement at all.
However, for the so-called, now a royal land, a Wei land, a Yong land, plus the Chu land of interest exchange, these areas are enough for his goods to be sold for a period of time.
As for the future, maybe it will be enough to blast it away with a cannon, because after this assassination, he has lost more and more confidence in these princes, and his name is just a self-consolation for Empress Zhao and Xiao Wenxuan.
Although the other princes will be forbearant for the time being, when the contradiction is irreconcilable, this vote is still like taking off his pants and farting.
"Your Highness is back!"
The merchant ship has not yet arrived at the wharf, and the officials who saw the merchant ship flag have begun to cheer at this time, Xiao Ming has been gone for a month, and the officials and generals of the entire fiefdom are unstable in their hearts, and they seem to have lost their hearts to do something.
Xiao Ming stood on the merchant ship and saw the people who greeted him on the dock, and the military generals were all there.
He said to Fei Yue'er: "Princess, this king will first introduce you to the officials in Qingzhou. ”
Speaking, he pointed to the person at the front of the dock and said: "The person who looks a little rigid is called Pang Yukun, people and appearances are more rigid, he is the long history of this king, the bearded person on his right side is called Niu Ben, he is the governor of this king, and he is in charge of the military affairs of the six states, and the white-faced scholar on his left is called Zhan Xingchang, who is the military advisor of this king, and he looks quiet and quiet, but in fact, he has a bad stomach, and the person behind Niu Ben is called Lu Fei......"
Fei Yue'er followed Xiao Ming's fingers and looked at them one by one, covering her mouth and chuckling from time to time, Xiao Ming's introduction was elegant and interesting, and she was very familiar with the names of these people very easily.
The merchant ship gradually arrived at the dock with the current, and at this time, the boatman lowered the ship's plank, and Xiao Ming took the group off the ship.
Pang Yukun got the news that Xiao Ming was coming back this morning, so he waited here with the officials, and the most important thing was to meet the princess.
At this time, the merchant ship arrived, and everyone saw Xiao Ming and an extremely beautiful woman walking side by side, and they had a plan in their hearts, and shouted at the same time: "See Your Highness, Princess." ”
After getting off the boat, Xiao Ming suddenly felt relaxed, here he finally didn't have to worry about a bunch of assassins coming out at any time.
A group of officials bowed and saluted, Fei Yue'er was a little at a loss, Xiao Ming smiled, and said to her: "Don't be nervous, they are all the courtiers of this king, and they will be your courtiers in the future, and they are here today mainly to meet you." ”
Hearing this, Fei Yue'er nodded slightly, after all, she was the daughter of Fiji, and she had also seen the scene when Fiji received officials, so she straightened her body, tried to make a princess should be majestic, and said in a voice as pleasant as a lark: "Everyone, please be exempt." ”
There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth, Fei Yue'er was not a woman from a big family, she was still very atmospheric, and this "free courtesy" was also loud.
"Your Highness Xie, Princess Xie." Pang Yukun and the others got up, but they still lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Fei Yue'er.
This is also a kind of etiquette in the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and it is rude to stare at a woman, let alone a princess.
On the dock, a carriage was ready, and General Xiao Ming led Fei Yue'er to board the carriage, and then Pang Yukun and the others raised their heads and said to Xiao Ming: "Congratulations to Your Highness for winning the beauty, shouldn't you also send us some happy money to make everyone lively." ”
The relationship between Xiao Ming and his subordinates has always been very harmonious, and he knew that these people would definitely want happy money, so he said: "The happy money is in Luo Xin's hands, you can take it yourself." ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately surrounded Luo Xin in the middle, and Lu Fei and other generals directly grabbed Luo Xin and began to search him.
Looking at the crowd of officials frolicking in a pile, Xiao Ming also boarded the carriage and went to Qingzhou City with Fei Yue'er.
Fei Yue'er was patting her chest on the carriage, she was also a little nervous just now, and when she saw a group of ministers frolicking on the dock, she smiled and said, "The relationship between His Royal Highness and the courtiers is very harmonious. ”
"That's right, this is Qingzhou, everything is not dignified and old-fashioned in Chang'an, this is a vibrant city, and it will not be the same as Chang'an City in the future." Xiao Ming said proudly.
The first time he went to Chang'an, he was shocked by the prosperity, and the second time he went to Chang'an City, it was already a little inferior to Qingzhou.
He believes that in a few years, Qingzhou will surpass Chang'an City in an all-round way.
"Really? Such a concubine should take a closer look at this Qingzhou. Fei Yue'er said as she opened the curtain through a small gap and looked at this strange place through the gap.
In her eyes, the official road from the dock to Qingzhou City was not yellow dirt but a silver ground, on which merchants and carriages could not leave traces.
And the sound of horses' hooves is particularly loud on this kind of road.
The carriage soon reached the gates of the city, when two rows of soldiers in dark green uniforms saluted the carriage at the same time with club-like weapons on their backs.
Entering Qingzhou City is also such a road, and for a while, there are suddenly more people on the road.
The people who came and went were all smiling, wearing clean cotton clothes, and the baskets in their hands were filled with all kinds of goods.
The merchants were dressed in silk and satin, leading the carriage back and forth, looking very busy, and what surprised her even more was that there were some young people in white robes playing in groups on the streets, and the words "Bowen College" were tattooed on the chest of the young robes.
When she looked up, a huge object was floating overhead, and Fei Yue'er lowered the curtain in fright.
Xiao Ming laughed at this time, "How is this king's Qingzhou?" Isn't it amazing. ”
Fei Yue'er was shocked, she didn't see the hot air balloon rising from the palace, she nodded at this time, and said: "The people of Qingzhou seem to be very rich compared to the people along the road, and the number of merchants can catch up with Chang'an, but Your Highness, what is that thing flying in the sky?" ”
"It's a hydrogen balloon." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Fei Yue'er exclaimed, "Isn't it a hot air balloon? What is this hydrogen balloon? ”
